MOUSE: P.I. for Hire – Release Date, Art Style & Switch 2 Info

A new installment in the classic adventure game series, MOUSE: P.I. For Hire, is slated for digital release on the Nintendo Switch 2 next month, with a physical edition following in June. The announcement comes as THQ Nordic prepares to launch a trio of titles on the forthcoming console, signaling a significant investment in the platform’s launch library.

The game will feature an art style reminiscent of early Mickey Mouse cartoons, according to promotional materials. Whereas specific gameplay details remain limited, the title promises to deliver a detective-focused experience consistent with the series’ established premise.

THQ Nordic’s commitment to the Switch 2 extends beyond MOUSE: P.I. For Hire. The publisher also confirmed plans to release remastered versions of Destroy All Humans 1 and 2 on the console in 2026. These releases join Epic Mickey: Rebrushed as part of the initial wave of THQ Nordic titles targeting the new Nintendo hardware.

The announcement of multiple titles for the Switch 2 underscores the anticipated demand for content on the platform. Nintendo has not yet disclosed the full specifications or release date for the Switch 2, but industry analysts predict a launch in late 2026. The arrival of established franchises like Destroy All Humans and Epic Mickey alongside new entries like MOUSE: P.I. For Hire is expected to bolster the console’s appeal to a broad audience.

The timing of these releases also positions THQ Nordic to capitalize on the potential success of the Switch 2. The company’s strategy appears to be focused on delivering a diverse range of gaming experiences to attract early adopters and establish a strong foothold in the new console market.

Other titles confirmed for the Switch 2 include Deltarune Chapters 1-4, scheduled for release on June 5th, 2025, further expanding the console’s launch lineup.
